Cheers everyone for your suggestions...

I'm a 'slim' 36 if that makes sense. Just buy it because I dont like to feel any ball-squashing at all (sorry if any ladies are reading). At the same time, I'm fed up of low riders.

(The only reason I asked for Japanese brands was because I've tons of Levis and Carhartt and getting a bit bored of their ubiquitousness)

Where did you get your Sugar Canes from? and did you get the "pre-worn" styles, or did you buy the unwashed / dry styles and then allow for shrinkage?

Same goes for the bloke who mentioned Samurai?

I took a look at Yahoo Japan auction site, but I cant work out what's what at all! Ebay Japan (bidders.co.jp) is even worse!

Where to find them? I work in London so that's also an option if anyone could recommend a retail store instead of online.

Thanks for everyone's responses

hi all - newbie here.

Wanting to get some Japanese denims - thinking Edwins or Sugar Canes. 36 waist

Trouble is I'm very tall - so I need an inside leg with a final result of 36" inches (e.g. will not shrink past 36")

Is this possible?

Ideally I dont really want to be 'fanatical' about how I wash them either - I just want to throw them in the washing machine with everything else and not worry about them.

Just after a cool pair of Japanese jeans really in nice heavy denim that will fade nicely. Don't like ball-breaker slim though!!

Any tips on brands / advice etc greatly appreciated.

Cheers

J
